Greetings

I recently noticed that my disk 3 has a error "device is disabled, contents emulated" I looked up and read...So i stoped the array, unassigned the disabled disk from partition and started array again, then stoped array again, then reassigned the disk to same slot and started maintenance mode and iniated sync. Shortly after initiating sync, the sync paused and same error showed up next to my disk 3, at that time under error colum i noticed 1024 as errors as well.

So does this mean my drive is bad?

I have attached a diagnostic and smart quick test. I am doing the extended test right now also.

Thank you for any help or advice

Errors are not logged as a disk problem, and SMART reports look fine, since they are happening in multiple disks, it suggests a power/connection issue; check/replace cables, especially any power splitters.

Thank you, let me check the power supply or cables, I left the SMART Test for the Extended Self test and came back to "Interrupted (host reset)" error, could not complete the extended smart test. Could that be from power cable issue as well?

Thank you!! Looks like there was a bad splitter for power to one of the sata drives. I rebuilt drive in maintainance mode and now back up and running. Very much appreciate your help!
